About This Project

Summary

BE HEARD is an award-winning, social media campaign series designed to bring attention to important issues facing Black communities. This year’s campaign, BE HEARD: #ShopLikeNana, highlights the environmental benefits of upcycling used and vintage clothing. Giving used apparel new life is not only economical, it's more sustainable, lightening fashion’s burden on our planet. We've deployed a variety of videos on the topic across multiple social media platforms with the help of three influencers.

Goals & Objectives

Timed to coincide with the buzz around Fashion Week in NYC, BE HEARD: #ShopLikeNana launched on Sept. 2, 2024. The goal is to raise public awareness about fast fashion's environmental impacts and to promote more sustainable alternatives. The campaign's main platforms are TikTok and Instagram.
